This represents an empirical example of something that is not functioning well in our society. In principle, it seems as if reading, discussions, family time, friend reunions, and studies are things of another world. http://salem-news.com/articles/january102011/kids-tv-cf.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january102011/kids-tv-cf.php Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:09:00 PST University of Oregon volleyball fans can catch a replay of the No. 23 Ducks' 3-1 win over Oregon State on various Fox Sports Net stations in upcoming days. http://salem-news.com/articles/november142010/uo-volleyball-television.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november142010/uo-volleyball-television.php Sun, 14 Nov 2010 13:52:00 PST The social passivity that reality has created does not know how to look for other ways to spend its leisure time.

I remember being so impressed with the ability of these students to overcome their disabilities, that I knew I would be a fan for life. It was great to learn that the school's special annual exhibit will be the subject of an ABC network Extreme Home Makeover episode http://salem-news.com/articles/september062010/deaf-school.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september062010/deaf-school.php Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:10:00 PDT Police in Montgomery County, Maryland say an armed gunman who was holding three hostages in the channel's building in Silver Springs has been shot by police. Police say the suspect's name is James Lee, a resident of Silver Springs. He may be an environmental activist though information is somewhat sketchy at this point. It is reported that shots were fired. Silver Springs Police say the 43-year old suspect is not unknown. Lee has reportedly been calling for protests against Discovery Channel and was arrested for disorderly conduct outside of the company's headquarters in 2008. http://salem-news.com/articles/september012010/discovery-hostages.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september012010/discovery-hostages.php Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:02:00 PDT We at KWVT 17.1 & KSLM 27.1 here in Salem have had several people call asking for more information and instead of contacting each we have decided to post this information to all. In reference to GAO-05-258T, a testimony before the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, from that testimony we have pulled some important excerpts. http://salem-news.com/articles/july222010/local-tv-kwvt.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july222010/local-tv-kwvt.php Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:52:00 PDT It is easy to come down like a ton of bricks on ministers and preachers who have worldly possessions. They are often in the spotlight for things they do and over what they may own. But what about athletes? Some are so overpaid that it is simply ridiculous. http://salem-news.com/articles/july162010/preachers-money-le.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july162010/preachers-money-le.php Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:19:00 PDT There is a reason Jon Stewart has such an intact comedy news throne. Right now his face keeps blurring with Ted Nugent's and the other heroes who have eventually shown their real colors. All comedy aside, Stewart is terrible for ranking on Helen Thomas, the only real voice in her league with the guts and fortitude to tell the truth about what Israel has become. http://salem-news.com/articles/june092010/jon-stewart.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june092010/jon-stewart.php Wed, 09 Jun 2010 04:07:00 PDT It is not wrong to spend hours in front of the T.V. What is wrong is the social passivity that reality has created; it does not know how to look for other ways to spend its leisure time. This represents an empirical example of something that is not working. In principle, it seems as if reading, discussions, family time, friend reunions and studies are things of another world. This issue becomes somewhat critical when the ones to be affected are children that spend too much time in front of the television. http://salem-news.com/articles/may252010/infant-hours-cfr.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may252010/infant-hours-cfr.php Tue, 25 May 2010 01:19:00 PDT How could 200 thousand tons of steel drop to the ground in under 11 seconds because of a fire? Over a thousand architects and engineers say that it simply cannot happen, at least not the way it happened on September 11th. http://salem-news.com/articles/march022010/rtv-911-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march022010/rtv-911-tk.php Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:33:00 PST Andrew Koenig, actor, director, activist, passed away this month in Vancouver, B.C. after a long battle with depression. Andrew Koenig is the son of Walter Koenig, also an actor, best known as Pavel Chekov on the original “Star Trek”. http://salem-news.com/articles/february272010/andrew_koenig.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february272010/andrew_koenig.php Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:31:00 PST The family of Captain Phil Harris, says the popular host of the Discovery Television program, "Deadliest Catch" died 9 February 2010 in Alaska. Phil Harris, who was born April 28, 1956, was the owner and captain of the crab fishing vessel F/V Cornelia Marie, which is featured on the Discovery Channel reality TV series Deadliest Catch. http://salem-news.com/articles/february102010/harris_death.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february102010/harris_death.php Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:44:00 PST It’s coming up a year since I first started writing for Salem-News. I’d like to explain, to the open-minded and receptive readers of goodwill, what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. I write, basically, because I have no choice. http://salem-news.com/articles/january262010/salemnews_tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january262010/salemnews_tk.php Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:37:00 PST Television anchors Paul Moyer and Pat Harvey, along with San Diego sportscaster Jerry Coleman, will be honored with Lifetime Achievement awards at the 60th annual Golden Mike Awards presented by the Radio & Television News Assn. of Southern California, the organization announced.

It took this 89-year old veteran correspondent to break through the vapid remarks about rechanneling “intelligence streams,” fixing “no-fly” lists, deploying “behavior detection officers,” and buying more body-imaging scanners. http://salem-news.com/articles/january122010/thomas_rm.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january122010/thomas_rm.php Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:56:00 PST Jay Leno may be getting his entire show back, but he should have remembered the old cliche, be careful what you ask for. Since Jay Leno retired about six months ago, the odds have been against his replacement. With Leno taking a slender amount of viewers with him to the ten o'clock show, and then Letterman hitting rating records with his affair/blackmail scandal, Conan O'Brien has had an uphill climb where it should have been a cake walk. http://salem-news.com/articles/january122010/conan_obrien.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january122010/conan_obrien.php Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:52:00 PST Israel's Channel 23 News is a snapshot of Jewish tolerance. Bear in mind that this is Israel National TV's 5:00 pm News. In this clip the reality of 1,400 dead in Gaza, including 400 children, is not something the announcers can agree upon. The elder Israeli presenter is Dan Margalit, a leading Israeli Journalist and a devoted servant of every Israeli government and War Criminal leader in the last four decades. http://salem-news.com/articles/january082010/israeltv_ca.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january082010/israeltv_ca.php Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:40:00 PST Salem residents may be surprised to learn that cable subscribers are footing the bill for a fight against the area's only local broadcast TV station, something Salem residents lacked for years. KWVT Channel 17 has been on the air in Salem since 2004. http://salem-news.com/articles/december222009/cctv_tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december222009/cctv_tk.php Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:15:00 PST Roy Edward Disney, son of Disney Studios co-founder Roy O.

A study of about 300 home-based child care providers by Oregon State University’s Stewart Trost, an internationally-recognized expert on childhood obesity issues, sheds light on both positive and negative aspects of family daycare providers. http://salem-news.com/articles/december162009/home_kids.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december162009/home_kids.php Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:30:00 PST It was interesting to watch Matt Lauer have to be "cool" about marijuana in this week's NBC Today Show segment titled "Stiletto Stoners", which related a story of growing numbers of women who prefer pot as a wind down drug, that they see as far less harmful than alcohol or other substances. Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles, is one of many modern professional women who disagree with the somewhat common belief, that there is a large social stigma attached to smoking marijuana. http://salem-news.com/articles/october022009/stiletto_stoners_tk_10-2-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october022009/stiletto_stoners_tk_10-2-09.php Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:35:00 PDT A Portland Police car with a crew from TV Show COPS aboard, collided head on with a Subaru Outback that drifted into their lane, according to reports. It happened at SE 136/137th & SE Stark, Portland. Q Madp of IraqWarHeroes.org, photographed the aftermath of the crash in great detail and shares the images with our Salem-News.com viewers. Statements indicate that Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m., a Portland Police Officer was driving his police car and was hit by an oncoming Subaru Outback that had veered into the officer's lane of traffic. This accident occured in the area of Southeast 136th and Stark Street. http://salem-news.com/articles/september302009/pdx_car_crash_9-30-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september302009/pdx_car_crash_9-30-09.php Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:59:00 PDT Joe Wilson topped the charts for overall human disrespect when he called out "you lie" to President Barack Obama during his recent speech to Congress. Right on cue, the folks from "Saturday Night Live" release a sketch that plays off Wilson's comment, or more specifically, the time preceding it. http://salem-news.com/articles/september212009/snl_wilson_tk_9-21-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september212009/snl_wilson_tk_9-21-09.php Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:02:00 PDT Cannabis, or marijuana as it is widely known in the United States, has been used medicinally for thousands of years. This fact is indisputable. Another fact, it has never caused a death. Now, let's get down to business. Speaking directly to those with an objection to marijuana: You don't like marijuana, because it makes you uncomfortable. As a kid, it was a taboo, and associated with the seedy road of life. Now that you're an adult, you see it as a risk. A risk to your social status, to your employment status, even to your personal relationships. http://salem-news.com/articles/september172009/nycmmj_bk_09-17-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september172009/nycmmj_bk_09-17-09.php Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:33:00 PDT We began broadcasting live news on Salem-News.com two weeks ago, and that live 7:00 p.m. program will return Friday night, September 18, 2009, with news presenter/anchor Bonnie King. The ability to deliver live news on the Internet to a mass audience is a relatively new concept. We are using a group out of the Bay Area of California, Justin.tv, to bring the program to you. http://salem-news.com/articles/september142009/news_returns_tk_9-14-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september142009/news_returns_tk_9-14-09.php Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:26:00 PDT How did the phony "death book" debate involving Veterans Affairs begin? Simple. Fox News owned Wall Street Journal published an op-ed piece by Jim Towey, former Bush coordinator of anti-abortion activities and political fixer. Towey is now president of St. Vincent's College, though he has no experience of any kind as an educator. http://salem-news.com/articles/september052009/va_suicide_9-5-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september052009/va_suicide_9-5-09.php Sat, 05 Sep 2009 14:14:00 PDT It isn't news nor is it slanted to say that FOX News has always been the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, willing to twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda. But the election of President Obama in 2008 pushed FOX News into outright hate-mongering and incitement of violence, which is intolerable in a democracy. http://salem-news.com/articles/september042009/fox_un-americans_9-4-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september042009/fox_un-americans_9-4-09.php Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:50:00 PDT I'm sitting in the Phoenix Inn Suite continental breakfast area in Bend this past Sunday, but it could have been anywhere. Plates clatter. Silverware clinks. Toasters pop. The light buzz of conversations fill the air. To one side hangs a wide screen television. Why is it there and why is it on? http://salem-news.com/articles/september022009/benny_sid-60.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september022009/benny_sid-60.php Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:14:00 PDT KWVT, Salem's only local broadcast station which has been broadcasting on digital channel 17.1 for some time, ceases broadcasting its ANALOG channel Sunday July 26th. The 213,000 house that KWVT serves will still be able to enjoy all the local and national programming on channel 17.1. In addition to KSLM-TV channel 17.2 with its "retro TV". THIS ONLY AFFECTS THE ANALOG CHANNEL. http://salem-news.com/articles/july272009/kwvt_drops_analog_7-27-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july272009/kwvt_drops_analog_7-27-09.php Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:30:00 PDT One of the best known names and voices in American broadcasting history, Walter Cronkite, died today at the age of 92 from cerebrovascular disease which he had fought for an extended period of time. Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. was born in St. Louis, Missouri, November 4th 1916. Familiar from the early years of broadcasting, he became a familiar fixture on American television screens and basically guided the nation's understanding and knowledge of the conflict through his role as the main news anchor at CBS News. http://salem-news.com/articles/july172009/cronkite_passing_7-17-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july172009/cronkite_passing_7-17-09.php Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:49:00 PDT
